Even though this is an older book, I couldn't put it down! There was no shortage of suspects for who the serial killer could be.
2.5 stars. Mary Higgins Clark books are hit and miss for me. Unfortunately this one was a miss, it was enjoyable in some parts.

"Love's Music, Love's to Dance" by Mary Higgins Clark is a suspenseful mystery novel that weaves a captivating tale of intrigue. In middle school, I found the narrative both engaging and accessible, with Clark's storytelling prowess shining through. The novel follows the mysterious disappearances of young women who shared a common interest in music and dance, unraveling a web of suspense that kept me eagerly turning the pages. Clark's ability to build tension and craft compelling characters made the story enjoyable for a younger audience, offering a thrilling introduction to the mystery genre. While the content is suitable for middle school readers, the novel's suspenseful plot and well-paced storytelling make it a compelling read for those seeking a gripping mystery, even at a younger age.
I went through the MHC phase in middle school, and got through a fair amount (5? 6?) before giving up in mild disgust. All the books are the exact same. And not in a good way.
Take a pretty woman. Throw her into a dangerous situation. Mix in a few hot guys. The one that she starts to trust the most turns out to be the killer.
But! This is the only book I remember a little bit about, so kudos to it.

Heya!
So I am beyond excited to do a review on this novel! When I was in private school I found myself as a definite outcast amongst the other students. You might say that it was because I didn’t come from a rich family like many of the others and that i just didn’t relate to them in anyway. The honest answer is just that I was very shy back then. I didn’t really know a lot of people and wasn’t very good at making friends.
You might’ve guessed, I spent most of my childhood with my nose stuck in chapter books. The majority of the books I read were romance novels. I was caught up in the whirlwind of what it meant to be in love, the tug and war of the relationships and how the heart comes together. Then it was like the flood gates of everything amazing opened and rained down on me. I came across a novel by Agatha Christie and my heart swelled. All things mysterious, intriguing and thriller flowed out. I was referred to read Mary Higgins Clark by a teacher and I was skeptical. Agatha was the only step I’d taken to broadening my horizons and I balked at the idea.
I fell in love with her style of writing. I had no idea what I was in store for. A few days ago I found one of her novels in a thrift store and I instantly knew I had to buy it! The story was one of my favorite in all of the books and genres I’ve ever read. The entire time I was on the edge of my seat. I literally jumped up, screamed and did a little dance when the killer was revealed. It was a really great story!
It was basically like reliving my childhood, curling up and unable to put the book down. I was angry, at one point, that the other characters in the story weren’t paying attention. I screamed “pay attention” at least ten times! To my hearts content, there was even a romantic storyline at play!
You have got to read this novel!
Good Readdance!
